Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most properties require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when facilities like the swimming areas are fully operational. Several campgrounds including Misty Mountain Camp Resort and Shenandoah Valley Campground welcome pets in their cabin accommodations, though specific pet policies vary by property. Walnut Hills Campground provides cabin rentals on the hillside area, offering more privacy than lakeside units. A camper noted, "Our site was full hookup and a very nice, mostly level, spacious, and had a covered picnic table on a deck."

Most furnished cabins include beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen supplies vary significantly between properties - some offer minimal cooking equipment while others provide basic utensils and cookware. Many cabin guests opt to cook over the provided fire rings, so bringing charcoal or purchasing firewood on-site is recommended. Toilet and shower facilities are typically shared unless booking premium cabin units with private bathrooms. Electricity is standard in most cabins, though heating and cooling options differ by location and season.

    Thunder Bridge

    Idyllic forest campground

    Thunder BRidge is a unique property tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Near Natural Bridge State Park in Virginia, the campground was once a CCC camp. Now it is home to many quiet tent sites, screen cabins, log cabins, and even some fully furnished rental cabins.

    The campground is about 60% wooded, the rest is open ground with buildings from the camp's earlier days. The open area includes  several artists' studios.  At one edge is a forest creek, great for wading. 

    The campground is mostly tenting sites and rustic cabins, but there are RV sites in the open area.

    This is not a "resort" but you won't find a more beautiful, quiet campground!

    Big Meadows Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Clean restrooms, wooded spots, nice overall

    We camped here the last night of the season (Nov30) and shared the campground with a mix of tent campers, car/van campers, and a few larger units. The bathrooms were plentiful, heated, hot running water, and a utility sink available. Our site had some privacy and some extra due to about 50% occupancy. Showers and laundry were closed for the season but are centrally located near entrance area of campground. Elevation above 3000 feet and plenty of deer! It was an especially cold night hitting a low of 14F. Very happy for the nearby heated restrooms with hot running water.

    Douthat State Park Campground

    Amazing Park With Everything You Need!

    This park is in one of my favorite parts of VA. Very beautiful area with plenty of off grid seclusion! It’s a nice scenic drive getting to the park on a quiet and well maintained back road.

    The rangers at the park are very knowledgeable and kind and have no problem answering questions. There are many camping areas in the park, Some near creeks and on the lake as well. There are also cabins here! Plenty of picnic areas and great fishing as well!

    It’s $8 a day for a fishing pass and you can rent John boats or kayaks here as well, In season the lake and creek are stocked with plenty of Rainbow trout. You can keep them for dinner if you like! Just follow all DNR laws on size and amount!

    Some spots include clean bathrooms, hot showers, soda machines, fish fillet tables, Picnic tables, fire pits and so on.

    I highly recommend this park for your next getaway or along your way!

    Loft Mountain Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Loft Mountain Campground in Shenandoah National Park

    In our opinion this is the best campground in Shenandoah National Park. Sites are large and many offer privacy. Sites include fire ring and picnic tables. Some of the sites have a mountain view where you can watch the sunset. The campground has great facilities including flush toilets, hot and cold running water, indoor showers ($1.75 for 5 minutes), laundromat, camp store with groceries, camping supplies, wine and beer, sandwiches, and morning coffee. The sites are $15 per night in this campground, and there is an entrance fee into Shenandoah National Park (we paid $30 for a week). The Appalachian Trail runs thru this campground and offers some great hiking.

    Sun Retreats Shenandoah Valley

    Great Summer Location

    We recently stayed in one of the cottages. The cottage had a basic kitchen with sink, plenty of counter space, mini fridge, and some utensils and dishes. Perfect for the simple life! There were multiple picnic tables out back of the unit with a fire ring and of course lake front not even a stones throw away. The campground has plenty of activities from multiple playgrounds to activities every weekend. They rent golf carts which it great because the place is huge. There is also a very small fishing pond in the campground.

    Bear Creek Lake State Park Campground

    Well maintained with lots of recreational activities

    Part of the VA State Park system, BCL is exceptionally well-maintained. Most of the site are RV accessible, but there are a few tent-only sites along the lake, which is where we stayed. These sites are absolutely beautiful--great lake views, and while the only swimming allowed is at the roped off beach area, there is a canoe launch and fishing opportunities right at the campsites.

    The tent pads are filled with shredded tires instead of gravel or dirt, which provides a little extra cushion, but can be uncomfortable on bare feet.

    All sites have fire rings, lantern hooks, and extra long picnic tables. Tent pads are of varying sizes--we stayed in site A12 and our 6 person tent fit easily, and we could have fit a second one-many of our camp neighbors had 10 person tents set up.

    The water view loop was not heavily trafficked, though the water does provide a hazard if you have small children as it is not roped off in any way. Our kids loved having the water right there and we loved watching them, it just requires extra vigilance. Loops B and C have more sites that are very shady but closer together, and there is more vehicle and bicycle traffic going past campsites.

    Bathrooms are clean, and have showers and electrical outlets to charge devices if needed.

    The park has lots of hiking, including trails that go directly from the camp sites to the swimming area, boat/canoe rentals, cabins, fishing, and a lakeside diner that sells concessions. Campsites allegedly have Wifi though we did not test this to see how reliable it is.

    Cumberland County is only at 455' elevation, so the heat and humidity in the summer is intense--we were very uncomfortable our first night because of this, so fall would probably be the best time to go as it is when central Virginia has the best weather.

    Montebello Resort

    I had a nice time

    Montebello is a lovely campground. There are tent, RV sites and cabins with campground bathroom. There are showers, slop sink and laundry. The pond at front has stocked trout and a small lake in the back has bass and crappie. Suitable for paddle boats or kayak. There was also a playground for children. You check in at the cute store across the street.

    I stayed in the tent area. The site has a fine gravel pad, picnic table and fire ring. I was in site 2 near the lake. A crowd with chairs sat above my site on the hill that were rather noisy. But biggest drawback was distance to bathroom which I had to drive to.

    Lots of good trails nearby and a small one around the lake. I plan to return in the fall.

    Loft Mountain Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Shenandoah National Park

    We did not have a reservation and were lucky to get a site. It is a large campground with 200 sites for RV's & tent campers. The site we had was primitive, no water or electric, but had a picnic table, fire ring, & a bear box. Although the sites were close, they were situated to maximize privacy. The campgrounds had plenty of restrooms with flush toilets & sinks. The camp store has laundry facilities and showers that you must pay for, $1.75 for 5 minutes. The grounds and facilities are very clean. An added bonus, you can access the Appalachian Trail right from the campgrounds that provides amazing views

    Lewis Mountain Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Quiet and peaceful

    We stayed in one of the cabins at Lewis Mountain, which had a queen size bed and bathroom with a small shower. Towels, soap and shampoo are provided. Each cabin has a sheltered area and fire pit for cooking and eating. The folks in the camp store were very friendly and went out of their way to provide hospitality. A couple of trails run right by the campground.


Guide to Lyndhurst

Rustic cabins near Lyndhurst, Virginia offer year-round lodging amid the Blue Ridge Mountains at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 3,000 feet. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing while summer highs average in the mid-80s. Most cabin areas require advance reservations, especially during peak fall foliage season when visitation increases by 60% compared to summer months.

What to do

Hiking access from cabins: Multiple properties including Love Ridge Mountain Lodging provide direct access to hiking trails. "The AT runs right through the campground," notes Katrin M. about nearby trails at Loft Mountain.

Fishing opportunities: Many cabins sit near stocked fishing ponds or natural waterways. At Montebello Resort, "the trout pond is a nice touch you can fish without a license, and you pay for what you catch, we enjoyed fresh trout for dinner during our stay," according to Adrian K. The resort also provides complimentary paddle boats and kayaks.

Winter activities: Unlike seasonal campgrounds, cabin rentals typically remain open year-round. Carol B. notes about winter conditions at Big Meadows: "We camped here the last night of the season (Nov30)... It was an especially cold night hitting a low of 14F. Very happy for the nearby heated restrooms with hot running water."

What campers like

Privacy between units: At Big Meadows Campground, cabin sites offer good separation from neighbors. "Though this campground is HUGE, the sites are not piled on top of each other. Our site, B112, was surrounded by shrubs under the canopy of trees which provided tons of privacy," reports Veronica S.

Wildlife viewing: Many cabins provide opportunities to observe local fauna. Veronica also noted, "You will definitely see deer in the campground as they walk through and browse the understory. They are unafraid of humans unless directly approached."

Evening relaxation: After active days, cabin sites offer comfortable spaces for relaxing. "The fireflies are spectacular. At dusk, the ground shimmers, and then after they disperse, you will still see them flit by the tent throughout the night," describes one visitor to Big Meadows.

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Most cabin locations have limited or no cellular connectivity. According to Quinn G. at Walnut Hills Campground, "Be aware; there is zero cell service at the campground. To get decent service it's a bit of a drive."

Weather preparation: Mountain elevations mean variable conditions. One camper at Loft Mountain noted, "The mountain remained fogged in for most of our stay, but hikes on the AT and Doyles Falls were stunning."

Shower fees: Some properties charge for shower facilities. "The shower was about 0.3 miles away. They charge $5 for 10 min, which you have to pay in quarters," mentions Katrin M. about facilities near Loft Mountain.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Shenandoah Valley Campground offers numerous family amenities. Ryan Z. notes, "My kids loved all the bunnies, the river, pool and putt-putt." The campground also features a swimming pool with hot tubs.

Educational opportunities: Several cabin locations provide ranger programs and nature education. "Nice amphitheater with interesting ranger programs," mentions Kim L. about Big Meadows.

Space considerations: Cabin sizes vary significantly between properties. At Crabtree Falls Campground, "The owner was very helpful and was able to get us a site last minute. The site backed up to a creek that created natural flowing water that we enjoyed wading through," according to Emily R.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: When booking cabins near RV areas, location matters. "Our site was full hookup and a very nice, mostly level, spacious, and had a covered picnic table on a deck. Not all sites have full hookup," advises one visitor to Walnut Hills.

Accessibility concerns: Mountain roads present challenges. Quinn G. warns, "VA56 is a very windy road not recommended for pulling a camper through. Use the blue ridge parkway."

Seasonal availability: While cabins remain open year-round, associated amenities may close. According to Karen, "We were there in October and they close on 10/31 for the season so we got the feeling they weren't that into it anymore."
